Went thru my disks today and found an archive I had made of FF skins dating back to late June of 2002. There are about 250 skins, mostly from the Skindex. This was before Marvel threw their tantrum, so their stuff hadn't been deleted yet.I'm sure that some are still available but some might have been lost to time. I'll make a list of the skins and who made them if anyone is interested and then post them somewhere if there's enough demand. All together the archive is a little over 100 megs.
Update; List link below - List of everything on the disk, minus common mods/skins by Gryphon, Beyonder, etc. Total files - 206

1) Marvel A-H http://rapidshare.com/files/385564237/Marvel_1.rar
2) Marvel I-Z http://rapidshare.com/files/385564239/Marvel_2.rar

Speaking as someone who has lurked, then posted, around here for years and years, I ache to see what's on that CD -- I remember the Skindex and many of the old-school skinners, and I'd be totally curious to see what you've got there.
So count this as one vote, if you've got the time!
Me as well! I miss those skins!
Id like to see them if only for nostalgia and curiosity sake. To be honest, skinning has advanced far too much for me to want to use more than a few of the most obscure characters in my game.
Count me in as well.
As a newcomer and a fan of old school I am very interested in see this classics.
I remember the Skindex from when I was still playing The Sims. All of those super hero skins for FF is what made me decide to actually try the game.
I'd love to see all that old stuff again. I was fighting for hard drive space back then so I only grabbed what I knew I wanted.
You wouldnt happen to have any of that stuff from the old Freedom Force Center, would ya? You know, the one from when the game FIRST came out? Theres some stuff there that I actually WOULD like to get and use.
Maybe.... A lot of the files have no nfo. Check the list and when I put them up for download there might be some in the mix. After 8 years, it's hard to tell
I, too was strapped for HD space, as well as having a limited download capability, and got only what I really, really, really wanted. I'd love to see what was on the disk. Heck, I don't care if I might have some of them, I'd like a copy of it.
Besides, just because they are old, it doesn't mean that you can't learn something from them.

I just downloaded the 2 marvel files, and was going to try and download the others, but it said I've reached my download limit for a free user. Is there a timeframe that I have to wait? Is there another options? Thanks.
Thanks for posting these Randomdays, I'm looking forward to checking these out.
:thumbup: Thanks a lot Randomdays, it's great to have these available again.
Hey Cyber I'll trade you your 1st Marvel Pack for DC and Other.

Usually you have to wait some minutes, but if you log off you will be able to download again as soon you log in.
Usually its a 15 minute wait between downloads
Thanks for this, Randomdays. I was able to download all 4 files one right after the other (5, including the list). I only had the 30-60 second wait in the queue for a Free User. By the way, the Marvel A-H listing on this page is no longer showing as a link.

Let me know if you still need these, if so, I'll send them your way.
Thanks for offering Cyberburn, I had a :thinkingidea and figured out I could just paste the link, that worked, but thank you all the same
Not sure how that happened...moved it one space to the right and its a link again
You're welcome to everyone who posted, and many thanks to Dark Jared and the others who were the main skinners who started it all
anyone know if Shrike is still around (under a different name maybe)...his skins are awesome
